More opportunities for parent involvement ON campus are needed. But overall, this is a very supportive learning environment. The staff is caring and watchful. The career clusters are significant. Let's make sure the budget stays intact for THIS school in particular. Not everyone will go to college, but the ones who want to NEED to be ready!
In Alaska, it is hard to raise the bar; Hutchinson should continue doing this until it beats the national averages. The English/Language Arts department is lacking in rigorous instruction. If your child is advanced, they may quickly become bored and unstimulated. I suggest that a better and more consistent librarian is in place. The presented assignments and tasks should have supplements attached for those who want to excel (paired with a teacher and parents' encouragement and awards for DOING so). Also, suggest journalism or CLUB opportunitites that are laser-focused on investigative thinking and practices. Clubs that meet the needs of those students who enjoy career clusters in the Language Arts arena could integrate with Arts AV.
